Is there a way to set the coordinate system inside a Frame control?
There doesn't appear to be anything like the Scale[stuff] properties and methods that forms and pictureBoxes have.

In the help, it says that container controls placed on a form default to the default (NOT the current) scale of the form, which is twips. Any way to change that?

The frame control uses the coordinate system of the container it is placed in. If the container scale changes, so will your reference to the frame. When you write the resizing code to move controls inside the frame, use the scalemode of the container.

You can change the scalemode of the container, do your resize, and then change it back.

No, that's not what I mean. Sorry if I was unclear.
I have a label ("Label3") inside a frame ("Frame2") and want to move the label around, whose position is given relative to its container, namely the frame. Now I can't figure out how to change the INTERNAL scale of the frame.
